O Lord, I sing with mouth and heart

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Seventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I sing with mouth and heart, Joy of my soul! to Thee; To earth Thy knowledge I impart, As it is known to me, As it is known to me. 2 Thou art the Fount of grace, I know, And Spring so fall and free, Whence saving health and goodness flow Each day so bounteously. 3 Thou feedest us from year to year, And constant dost abide: When danger fills our hearts with fear, With help art at our side. 4 With patience dost Thou ev'r abide, Nor long Thine anger keep, But castest all our sins aside Into the ocean's deep. 5 Our deepest needs dost Thou supply, Thou giv’st what lasts for aye, Thou lead’st us to our home on high, When hence we pass away. 6 Then up, my heart, rejoice and sing, A Cheerful trust maintain! For God, the Source of ev'rything, Thy portion will remain. Used With Tune: LÜTZEN (Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich)

Thou art my Shield, my Hiding-place; My hope is in Thy Word. 6 Thou hast inclined this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus, till mortal life shall end, Would I perform Thy will.

Is He not Himself to be All our Store eternally? 3 What our Father does is well: Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His Word supplies. He has called us sons of God; Can we murmur at His rod? 4 What our Father does is well; May the thought within us dwell Though nor milk nor honey flow In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed. 5 Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise, To the Father and the Son, And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor, might, and glory be, Now and through eternity.

In Jesus I find rest and peace

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Seventh Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Seventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 In Jesus I find rest and peace The world is full of sorrow; His wounds are my abiding-place; Let the unknown tomorrow Bring what it may, There I can stay, My faith finds all I need today, I will not trouble borrow. 2 Until I found that crystal spring, My way was dull and dreary; I looked for peace in many a thing; But still my soul grew weary. Unsatisfied, All things I tried, And yet my soul had not espied The fount of life so near me. 3 My soul was carnal, blind, and bound By sin, and never sought Thee, Lord Jesus, though I ever found All else no comfort brought me, No peace, no rest Within my breast; My troubled soul remained unblest, Of Thee I ne'er bethought me. 4 In pity, then, Thou cam'st to me, Thine arms to me extending; I heard Thy voice: Come unto me And rest in peace unending. Immanuel Loves thee full well, He saves thy soul from death and hell, In perils thee defending. 5 O Jesus, I must now confess The world hath but vexation And anguish, sorrow, dire distress, As is Thy declaration. In Thee is peace And sweet surcease; Thy bosom is my resting-place Where I find consolation. 6 To me the preaching of the cross Is wisdom everlasting; Thy death alone redeems my loss; On Thee my burden casting, I, in Thy name, A refuge claim From sin and death and from all shame-- Blest be Thy name, O Jesus! 7 O Jesus, may I constant be, Forever with Thee staying! O may I feel love's mastery, My every fear allaying! The dove at last Hath found sweet rest From all her weary, futile quest, Although she long went straying.

Dear Saviour, bounteous are thy hands

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Seventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, bounteous are thy hands, Thy mercies are unknown: Thy mighty word,, thy great commands, Can bring thy blessings down. 2 O Lord, how wond'rous are thy ways, Thy counsels none can know. Thy love, thy mercy and thy grace, Provides for all below. 3 Not as the eyes of men do see, Or human mind perceive; That all the world is fed by thee, And ev'ry creature live. 4 Some thousands once had follow'd thee Into the wilderness; Thou hadst compassion them to see, Faint, hungry, and distress'd. 5 But all their wants were soon supplied At thy commanding word-- They ate, and all were satisfied, And praised thee their Lord. 6 O happy they, who on thee wait! And to thy call's attend; What joy and comforts will they meet, With thee, their Lord and friend. Scripture: Mark 8:1-9

Should we our members yield?

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Seventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Should we our members yield? To act unrighteousness; Who have the will of God reveal'd, And his dear name profess. 2 Yet once it was our case, We were to sine enslav'd-- But by a wond'rous act of grace: Renew'd again and sav'd. 3 We dare not yield to sin, Tho' grace to us abounds-- Lest we enslave ourselves again, And mock the Saviours wounds. 4 How much could we be blam'd, To nourish such a root? Whose growth would make us feel ashamed When once it shews it fruit. 5 Rewards of sin is death, Of body and of soul; But every true believer hath, That which can make him whole. 6 Life is the gift of God, For Jesus sake 'tis giv'n. The shedding of the Saviour's blood, Will make them heirs of heav'n. Scripture: Romans 6:19-23
